Hey there, Mabuhay!

As most who will come across this page will know, I just love the game of rugby - so much so I am in my 21st year of chasing the egg!

It has given me the best years of my life so far and helped me with my mental health, I don't know who I would be without it.

Over the years, I have met so many people around the world, connected through the love of the sport and some of my best memories are through this sport.

Back in 2017, I was thrilled to earn my very first international cap for Philippines 7s and went on until 2022.

We then had our first 15s tournament in 2018, of which there was a 10 year break - but IT IS BACK IN FEBRUARY 2026 !!

Playing for the motherland comes at a cost, as we are not a big rugby union and have to cover the majority of the funds ourselves.

We may not be the biggest rugby union out there, but we have just as much talent to showcase to the world.

With the current climate, I am seeking any donations to help me get my 3rd and 4th Philippines 15s cap.

I am trying to raise the cost of the flights and accommodation required for a mini camp in Manila and the tournament in Kuala Lumpur of which the breakdown is below:

This is where you come in.

Any donation is appreciated no matter how small and if I do reach the goal or even surpass it, the extra donations will go straight to the PRFU to help fund our rugby programmes around the Philippines.

Thanks for reading, salamat po,
